Hello, Broncos fans! It’ll be quiet for a few days until the players report for their offseason workouts, but I figure it’s a good time to examine what the Broncos roster looks like at the moment and what to expect.

One thing to keep in mind as I go over the roster: This is where the Broncos fit for the time being, but that doesn’t mean that’s how the starting lineups will look for the first preseason game or how the final 53-man roster will take shape. We have seen many times before that a player who was on the roster bubble emerges and becomes a player who demands a roster spot. We have also seen projected starters wind up being cut when the roster is trimmed to 53.

I did include a few notes regarding each position and certain players. These are things to keep in mind as to what it will take for certain players to make the final roster, particularly how they will fit into the Broncos’ schemes.

(Note: I have included all the undrafted rookies I know about, but feel free to point out any of them I may have missed.)

The Backdrop

We all remember the basic facts of Deflategate. It started on January 18, 2015, when D’Qwell Jackson intercepted a pass thrown by Tom Brady during the AFC Championship game.

Wrapped up our draft by taking punter Riley Dixon from Syracuse in the 7th rd. He's a talented punter who had a lot of success in college.

We've taken Will Parks, a safety from Arizona, in the 6th rd. He's a versatile player with really good instincts. Glad he's a Bronco.
